In “The Call of the Sixties”. Banjoists playing old time selections with the words flashed on the screen. An old idea but new at this season. “Nellie Gray” 1856. “Lillie Doll” 1852, “Oh Susanna” 1854, “Grandfather’s Clock”, 1870 with the audience singing the chorus. At every performance the audience go wild—On Thursday night they simply stopped the show. 15 minutes in one.
